Let’s get you ready to step on stage in style.

We all know that pageant heels must be comfortable as well as stylish for on stage. And of course we always want a little bit of sparkle. Here are my top 10 picks that every girl needs in her pageant closet.

Does heel height matter?

In order for you to find the best pageant heel for you, you must take into consideration the height of the actual heel. With all things pageant related comfort should take precedence over style. As you are well aware you will be living in these shoes so they must be as comfortable as possible.

Here are a few tips to help you pick out the perfect pageant heel for you.

  1. Make sure your pageant heels have a nice size platform in the front. This will provide an extra level of cushion while on stage.
  2. The skinnier the heel the harder it is to balance on stage. Remember this rule of thumb when you’re purchasing your pageant shoes.
  3. Strappy heeled shoes will give you more stability in the ankles as you walk, consider this style option if you have a hard time balancing or pain in the lower back.
  4. Try to find an exact match to your skin tone. If you will be wearing a spray tan take this into consideration.
  5. Do not wait until pageant day to wear your new shoes. Make sure that they are fully broken in so as to not cause excessive blisters or pain on pageant day.

No matter what style shoe you go with be sure that you feel like the queen you are. Remember practice makes perfect and the more you walk in your heels the better you will feel on stage.

May 18, 2022 fashion

If you’re looking for an all-white outfit for your party or social outing this is the post for you. Honestly, most times we already have the clothes in our wardrobe but we need a bit of inspiration. Such is the case with all-white outfits. 

Can you count how many white staple pieces you currently have in your closet? Such as a:

  • Blazer
  • Bodysuit
  • Dress Pants
  • Jacket or Coat
  • Dress

I happen to love white and try to wear it all year round. As much as I love white in the spring, something about winter white is just so chic. I came across this inexpensive two-piece set that was perfect. I own this set in multiple colors HERE and it’s a wonderful addition to my closet. 

Two-piece sets are considerable because they allow you the opportunity to mix and match separates. This is essential for creating an inclusive wardrobe. 

Here are a few wardrobe ideas to help you create the perfect all-white outfit for any time of year. 

  1. Introduce different fabrics and textures. 
  2. Add accessories 
  3. Play with silhouettes 
  4. Pop of color

How To Add Green To Your Wardrobe

March 30, 2022 fashion

What is your color palette for this spring? I would have to say that mine is going to consist of green and yellow. I can’t seem to make up my mind just yet but I’ve already started adding these colors to my wardrobe. I really want my wardrobe to reflect my mood and personality. Thus I’m selecting colors that make me happy and affect my mood.

This green two-piece set definitely hits the mark in both areas. It’s bright, fun, and extremely comfortable. The best part is it has an amazing stretch. If you’re new here, I love fabric that stretches lol. I wore this piece to lunch with friends and of course, we were eating and drinking. The material allowed me to be able to eat what I wanted and still maintain my figure. The fabric still held me together. Ladies, you know exactly what I mean. 

I loved it so much I picked up another one in white. Since white is a wardrobe staple for me I knew I would be able to wear it a few times. And since it’s a two-piece I can wear each piece with other staples in my closet.

Amazon Dress You Need Now

January 10, 2022 fashion

Dress: HERE


I love a good ole Amazon find. Especially when it’s clothing. Typically on Sundays, you will find me online looking at some of my favorite websites to see what’s new and check out the clearance sections. I do the same thing on Amazon. I have my favorite sellers in a folder and I look at their updated inventory. The key is to really look at the item’s rating and reviews. Bonus points if the item has video reviews and additional pictures from previous customers. Today this post is serving as a review of this amazing Amazon dress you need to add to your wardrobe.

Price

I always shop around when I find a popular or trendy fashion item online. There have been times the Amazon version was higher priced than other online retailers. At the time of this post, this dress retails at $26 USD. The green color is currently sold out however there are 6 colors available. I think I want to grab this dress in the blush pink tone.

Sizing

Can we say stretch! Yes and yes. I love a good stretch and this dress is perfect. For my curvier figure, it helps to hide the belly but hugs the curves enough to give you an amazing shape. You won’t see your shapewear underneath it so if you love waist trainers or spandex this dress is perfect. 

Quality

Very nice quality but as I always say, you get what you pay for. It’s not a luxury piece so don’t expect silk or satin. I will say that this dress is lined and not see-through. If you’ve ever shopped online you know these style dresses tend to be sheer and leave little to the imagination.

Highly recommend this dress for ladies looking to keep it sexy yet classy at the same time. I do want to caution you that the sleeve material doesn’t really stay in place. That’s the only complaint I can find regarding this purchase. I also have another post HERE for some of my favorite Amazon finds if you’re interested. 

Top 5 Influencer Websites For Brand Deals

January 7, 2022 lifestyle

Let’s cut straight to the chase and talk money. Big money.  How are these influencers, bloggers, and content creators making money with brand deals? I know you want to know because I too wanted to know as well. It seemed for some strange reason, people have been trying to gatekeep this information like it’s the secret sauce for the Krabby patty. I just don’t understand, but this post is definitely giving you the recipe.

Since I wasn’t able to get the information from fellow bloggers and influencers at the time I decided to take some time and research it for myself. Although there are more than 5 websites to apply for brand campaigns these are the sites I use the most. For my fashion-based content creators, I have a special post for you here. Luckily for you, I love to share so I will be giving you my top 5 influencer websites for brand deals. 

Influencer Websites For Brand Deals

Tomoson

Cohley

Aspire IQ

Fohr

Activate

Obviously

I’m going to give you a complete breakdown of each of these brand campaign platforms and how I’ve used them to secure brand deals. I have personally used all five for more than a year so I have some insight into each one. Most are a bit straightforward forward however, some offer additional benefits you should be mindful of.

Tomoson– My first influencer platform. Tomoson is made for new content creators looking to start building a portfolio and media kit. There are four categories for you to partner with brands. These categories include easy approvals, freebies, % off deals, and paid campaigns. I highly recommend all new influencers sign up for this platform. Even if you take a few months and create content for free or at a low rate it will help you build your confidence while working smaller campaigns.

The site also allows you to add your custom price list based on all your social media platforms. You can then apply to create content for one social media site or all of them. I personally like that you can apply for blog campaigns as well. The brands will know how much you charge via the pre-submitted media kit you provided on the site and you can customize the price per campaign. This makes applying for campaigns much easier. 

Also to note, you will see quite a bit of Amazon-based sellers on this site. There have been a few brands who have reached out to me outside of the site asking for lowball deals and extras. I happily decline.

Aspire IQ– Another platform that makes the brand collaboration as seamless as possible. I would like to mention, this one I would not recommend to brand new content creators as they typically want you to have a minimum of 10K followers on at least one social media platform. I will however say, there will be campaigns where they will overlook your analytics if you are producing high-quality work. Remember the name of the game is quality versus quantity. 

Also important to mention this site does a great job of outlining the step-by-step process of each campaign. Thus you will learn important details that go along with each phase of completing sponsored content. 

Fohr– The holy grail of media kits. This site will help you so much on your journey of becoming a content creator. Yes you will have opportunities to apply for branded content but the metrics this site provides are second to none. It breaks down all of your engagement and growth rates, sponsored post, most engaged post and demographics. The list goes on and on. This site also stores your price per post and rates. My paid collabs are far and few in between but I would recommend this site to have access to its features and measure your growth. The sponsorship on this site does offer higher payments than some of the other sites.

Activate– A very similar layout to Aspire IQ. You will be able to filter through the campaigns based on the compensation options. Options are flat rate, bid, non-cash, and performance. The site will allow you to apply for campaigns based on a quoted price you submit(bid). Lately, I have been seeing campaigns move from the flat rate price to performance-based. Meaning the price you will be paid is determined by how well your analytics are for that sponsored content.

Cohley– Saving my number one platform last on the list because I can go on and on. I have received the most brand-sponsored campaigns on this platform. Like all others, Cohley campaigns pay according to social media followers. However, they do offer flat rate campaigns as well. Recently, they have also started to include TikTok campaigns which help new influencers and content creators the opportunity to cash in on the growth of the platform.

Of all of the sites, I’ve mentioned this one is the one I check each day for sponsorship opportunities. They update their database each day and you will always have the opportunity to apply to great brands that offer higher payment amounts. This is based on your social media follower count as well as engagement. If I were to recommend only one site it would be this one.

Here’s a tip, as a new content creator focus on quality content. Take your time and produce the best possible content you can. Trust me, even if a brand says no now they are definitely still watching, and as you grow they will likely come back with an offer to collaborate in the future. Happy creating.
